There were two very long, very articulate posts right after mine, about the things we usually fight about--and you are responding to my two questions. I would refer you to Cori C--who knows more about the school than I do.

Why don't you go after Cori or Yashiko? (Now I'll actually read your comment).

First of all, I asked questions, didn't make a statement. But the school sounds as though it should be a private religious school. Arabic could be part of a magnet school specializing in--oh, let's say international studies. If I recall, and you really should respect Cori C, the school was doing things most public schools are not allowed to do, such as segregate kids based on sex.

But yes, I would say that public schools are not for singular cultural studies, that is for private schools.

Schools aren't allowed to teach 'Bible as Literature'--colleges are, private schools are. Of course, I say all of this not living in New York, the rules could be different up there. Looks like we need the bylaws of the public school district to determine this. And if district bylaws were violated and the school should not have been closed according to those bylaws, then a lawsuit should clear this up pretty quickly.

But this is an old story--I mean it took place months ago. Why it's being brought up now, perhaps we should pitch in and get Daniel a watch and calendar. I hear in New York you can get a Rolex for like 10 bucks.

If you could, since you are so well-versed on the the right wing Zionist conspiracy, tell us all how to be more efficient, because I think getting oil down to 20 dollars a barrel would be in our interests and we can't seem to make that happen. Any suggestions?

But once again, you dismiss Cori C for making inane somewhat racist statements, and you are the one throwing out the Zionist conspiracy stuff.
